• C) a solid nonconducting sphere, uniformly charged throughout its volume, inside of a positively charged conducting sphere
• D) a positively charged nonconducting thin-walled spherical shell inside of a positively charged conducting sphere
• E) a positively charged nonconducting thin-walled spherical shell inside of another positively charged nonconducting thin-walled spherical shell
